The $700-per-night W Hotel Downtown last week hosted both Peter Dutro, one of a select few OWS members on the powerful finance committee, and Brad Spitzer, a California-based analyst who not only secretly took part in protests during a week-long business trip but offered shelter to protesters in his swanky platinum-card room.
... Spitzer, 24, an associate at financial-services giant Deloitte, which netted $29 billion in revenue last year, admitted he joined the protest at Zuccotti Park several times.
Yes, hotels in NYC are waaaaaayyyyyyy overpriced; a close acquaintance stayed in the Tribeca neighborhood and was hit up for $450/night--and shared the room with lotsa bugs. Helluva deal.
